(Plus quite a few rants from Paul…)

(Warning contains swearing) A while ago I wrote an article looking at 6 reasons why most business owners don’t achieve what they want to achieve. The reality is that everyone knows what they need to do to grow a business but the simple truth most people don't get...

We are running our August challenge this month. That is where a bunch of our members (and us too) give a metaphoric 2 fingers to the convention that says “August is a quiet month”, and just see what would happen if we all tried to make it our biggest month of the...

I was driving back from a meeting the other day, windows open and the polite British strains of Radio Two bubbling out of the Radio and on comes The Jeremy Vine show... Now I LOVE the Jeremy Vine show. It both delights me and irritates the absolute hell of me in equal...

I was asked a question on Social Media a few weeks back and it really got me thinking. I tend to get asked things a lot, mostly they are a simple ‘technical’ question, “How would you use Facebook to sell xxx?” kind of thing, but this one was a bit out of the ordinary....

Now you know me, I'm not really the ranty type....but the last few days have pushed me close... In the course of the last couple of weeks I have tried to buy stuff from people who sell the stuff I want to buy - crazy I know - but through general muppetry and bad...

There's a simple thing that most business do / don't do with their marketing that causes their it to lose effectiveness. It came up in 3 separate meetings recently so I thought it was worth talking about. If you think that its something you might be doing too and...

I had an interesting little occurrence yesterday, it really got me thinking and so I thought I'd share it. I went to see a client for a one-to-one strategy session and we met in a little cafe in the town where my mum and dad live. I went to order a couple of...

[Facebook Remarketing Salon Case Study] You look through the appointment book for the week ahead and see huge gaps. Therapists and stylists standing idol for hours. Panic sets in and you quickly throw up a Facebook post with an offer. How’s that working for you?...

As someone who's job it is to help business owners move their businesses forward, the end of January is my least favourite time of the year. The simple truth is, that for most businesses, their 2018 will be "sunk" this week. Not because of some cataclysmic event or...

How do you go back to someone who has visited your website or is on your email list using Facebook Ads? When someone visits your website once, doesn’t buy or book or subscribe, and goes merrily on with their day, how in the world do you win them back? Well, the answer...

A few years ago I was lucky enough to meet Richard Branson, and whilst we didn’t sit down for an hour or so chewing the business fat over a couple of well chosen real ales, I still count it as one of the most important “meetings” in my business life. To set the scene...

I don’t really get chance to watch many films. Over the years there have been loads of good looking movies that I see advertised in the cinema but then completely forget about when it comes to home release. So when I do have an urge to watch something I tend to...

I have a story for you today that is so packed full of business lessons that it's like a well made eccles cake. I'm heading down to the coast this weekend. We've got a house in Southwold in Suffolk and we've been going for the last 10 years. It's an odd little place,...

Anyone that has read a few of my posts over the last few months (you know who you both are…) you’ll know that I like a rant. And a couple of weeks ago was no different. I’d had a run in with an estate agent. I’d tried really hard to give them a big chunk of cash but...

A bit of a slight rant again... (although it has been a while!!) It's hard enough to run a business at the best of times but when people just sit back and wait for it to happen it is only going to get harder, MUCH harder. This weekend I tried to make a big purchase,...

Being a member of Marketing Jumpleads has been a really good experience. I’ve met some cool people, doing some interesting things and most importantly it has helped me put ideas into action and get results, which is the name of the game.
